What Types of Things Go Wrong With a Boiler?

Home boiler systems, while durable, can develop issues over time. Here are some common boiler problems that may require professional attention:

Thermostat Problems
Faulty thermostats can lead to inconsistent temperature control. As the most common issue we encounter, this is usually the first component we inspect during a service call.

Pressure Problems
Incorrect boiler pressure can hinder performance:

• Low Pressure – Often caused by a water leak or recent system bleeding.
• High Pressure – May indicate excessive water in the system or a faulty expansion vessel. Addressing leaks or bleeding excess water usually resolves these issues.

Radiator Issues
Radiators might need tuning or balancing:

• Air Bubbles: Bleeding air from individual radiators improves efficiency.
• Balancing: Ensures even heat distribution throughout the home.

Pilot Light or Ignition Problems

For gas boilers, pilot light issues can prevent ignition, while modern boilers with electronic ignition systems can also malfunction. Both problems can be diagnosed and repaired.

Leaks
Leaks can occur in pipes, valves, or the tank itself, impacting efficiency and safety. Boilers involve water, and some also use oil or gas, making leak detection and repair critical.

Circulator Pump Failure
The circulator pump moves hot water through the system. Over time, it can wear out or break, disrupting heat distribution.

Frozen Condensate Pipe

In colder climates, the condensate pipe can freeze, shutting down the boiler. While rare in milder climates like Northern Virginia, it’s an issue worth noting for homeowners in colder areas.

Kettling

A buildup of limescale or mineral deposits can narrow water passageways, causing overheating and noise that resembles a whistling kettle. Regular maintenance can prevent this issue.

Burner Problems
Burners can become dirty, clogged, or worn out over time, leading to inefficient heating or system failure. Routine cleaning and inspection can extend their lifespan.

Valve Repairs
System valves may stick, leak, or stop functioning. Regular inspection helps identify whether repairs or replacements are needed.

Heat Exchanger Issues

This critical internal component can develop cracks or corrosion over time. While rare, a damaged heat exchanger is a major issue requiring professional attention.

Regular maintenance and prompt repairs can keep your boiler operating safely and efficiently, extending its lifespan and ensuring reliable performance.
